Vaughan’s criticism of Team India
Vaughan’s criticism of Team India comes after the side lost to New Zealand in the quarterfinals of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The former England cricketer was quoted by Indian Express as saying, Most under-performing white-ball team in history, that’s all you can say. And those who have come and done well will have a lot more pressure on them now. I don’t think they will be able to handle it very well.
This is not the first time that Vaughan has criticized Team India.
Reasons for England’s success
England’s success in the world cup may have come as a surprise to some, but it is not without its reasons. England has consistently been one of the better teams when it comes to batting, and the bowling attack has improved substantially since previous years. One of the most important factors for England’s success this year was their excellent fielding. The team made very few errors and often saved crucial runs that could have taken them out of contention for the world cup in previous years. This led to them being labeled as one of the best fielding teams in world cricket.
Reasons for India’s failure
At the end of the match, former England captain Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to question the Indian team’s performance. He said that after watching the game he couldn’t believe how poorly they have played at this World Cup. He continued by saying that he believes that India is the most under-performing white-ball team in history, and called out their lack of quality players.
Vaughan also made a mention of India being ranked number one in the T20I rankings but said that they are nowhere near as good as their ranking would suggest.
Vaughan’s advice for Team India
The former England captain, who led the side to glory in the 2003 Cricket World Cup and the 2005 Ashes, has come down hard on Virat Kohli’s side after their disappointing showing at this year’s tournament. Most under-performing white-ball team in history, he tweeted.
No excuses for a batting order full of international-quality players like that.
He urged them to acknowledge their mistakes and learn from them to improve next time. Where you stand depends on where you sit, he said, quoting Malcolm Gladwell. This is not a sprint but a marathon. There are no shortcuts. Engines need regular maintenance and oil changes to perform optimally. If they don’t, they will just seize up or stop working altogether (Cricket Betting Tips).
